This beautiful, charming community is situated on the eastern shore of Calling Lake, known for its tranquility and recreational pleasures.
The Cree name of the lake, “Kito-Sakahekan” is most famous for the sounds of ice cracking that echo for a long distance.
With a population of 415, the area is rich with culture mixed with close-knit neighborly charm. In summer, the population swells as a number of lakeside cottagers enjoy their getaway destination.
